I want to set up my workstation on my mac so I can teleop turtlebot.
To do that, I need to first install some things. Get homebrew installed and follow the instructions here: http://wiki.ros.org/groovy/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source
A couple things to note:
Once you tap ros/groovy, you will end up with a warning. Follow the instructions and enter the command:
brew install ros/groovy/icon-naming-utils
Also once your tap osrf/simulation you will end up with another warning, enter the following:
brew install osrf/simulation/protobuf
To use rosdep, you will need to start the process:
sudo rosdep init
You might have trouble with the following command: “./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated –install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release”. If you do, and you see something talking about “py_em” just run the following:
sudo pip install -U EmPy
To use the things installed from these packages, it’s important to source them. If you are cd’d into ~/ros_catkin then just do:
source ~/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/setup.bash
Update:
meh…this might help someone out there, but I wasn’t able to complete the installation this way…guess I just be install ubuntu on another machine…
